Coordinate Proofs (Textbook Page 243-249) Summary- A coordinate proof is very similar to a regular proof except you show what’s actually happening instead of just writing it. A coordinate proof works by taking information, graphing it, and using it to help you solve your problem. In many cases it is easier to solve a problem this way. All questions involving a proof will in some way give you a given (what you already know) and what you want to prove. Usually, if the problem involves some sort of drawing, it can be done using a coordinate proof. All you have to do is enter the information onto the plane and then write your thought proses while solving the problem. The Goal of this wiki i to teach people how to use coordinate proofs.
